CHICAGO, Jan. THE trading in wheat
was rather listless to-day. and fluctuations
were confined within narrow limits Foreign
adviceS quoted wheat dull, with poor de-
mand and prices shade lower. There was
considerable selling, particularly on eastern
account, while shorts covered moderately
freely. The export clearings aggregated
2S4, 900 bushels, but these were not large
enough to satisfy the majority of operators
who had looked for very liberal clearances.
Receipts continued up to about the usual
average. May wheat opened at S556c,
touched the extremes of S. @S613c, and
closed at opening figures. The corn mar
ket was quite dull. The opening was
easier at 42c for May, but rallied lose
and closed at the best figures of the day.
The receips were fair and shipments moder-
ate. Oats were dull and featureless. Pro-
visions were moderately active and I'M
unsettled. The market opened quite firm
for mess pork with May delivery at S12. rs
per barrel and advanced to $50. but fell
off steadily and closed at S12. Lard
ruled 5(0715c per 100 TBS lower. Short
ribs were 10@1275c per 100 lbs lower.
